Event

Music & Dance Improvisation

Don't miss this one night opportunity to see this unusual group of international artists coming together, jamming, creating and improvising. Three of them are coming from France: our favorite french jazzman Lamine Diagne playing saxophone and duduk, the pianist Agathe Di Piro who not only composes great music for films but just had a solo performance at the opera house of Marseille and the Iranian dancer Sahar Dehghan who is now a leading theatre actress/dancer in National Theatres in France. All three will be in the bay area collaborating with these two, already well known, great local musicians, originally from Iran: Kamran Thunder the unique Ney Master and innovative setar player and poet and Ali Bazyar the dynamic Tombak Master, who also plays various percussions including Daf and many others. You have seen Kamran Thunder and ALi Bazyar on tour all over California and beyond, but each time their work is a different kind of innovation within tradition. Their music reflects their rage ignited by current events and their nostalgia for Iran but yet their positive energy, light, simplicity and humility inspires hope, peace and joy!! This creative collaboration and improvisation will bring us all together in a night of full FREEDOM symbolized by music and dance!!!
